Tiffany Fong on ‘refusing’ to be Elon Musk’s Baby Mama: 'For the record, I did not …'

Tiffany Fong found herself at the centre of controversy after a Wall Street Journal report claimed the cryptocurrency influencer turned down a proposal from Elon Musk about having his child. In a latest, Fong has shared a post on X stating that she will not be addressing the topic publicly. She wrote “For the record, I did not feed this story to WSJ (or any other outlet) and explicitly asked NOT to be included when I was contacted for comment. If you’re waiting for me to comment publicly, it’s not going to happen. THANKS!”


Fong is an American cryptocurrency influencer and a self-described "reluctant crypto journalist." Born on March 19, 1994, in Las Vegas, she graduated from the University of Southern California in 2017 with a degree in communications.
She entered the crypto scene in 2022 by investing $200,000 in Celsius Network. After the platform's collapse, she gained attention by sharing her experience in a viral YouTube video titled "Celsius Network: I LOST $200,000." Her reporting on the 2022 FTX collapse further increased her prominence, including interviews with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried during his house arrest.
She rose to fame in 2024 when Tesla CEO Elon Musk began following her on Twitter. Not only her followers increased rapidly, but also her earnings went through the sky. By November 2024, Fong had reportedly earned $21,000 on Twitter alone.

A WSJ report recently claimed that in late 2024, Elon Musk reportedly approached Fong via direct message on X (formerly Twitter) with a proposal to have his child. Fong declined, preferring a traditional family setup. Highlighting that the two had never met in person, the report says that things started to fall apart when Fong confided about Musk's proposal to her friends – including Ashley St. Clair (who also claims to have given birth to Musk’s child.
Furthermore, Musk allegedly unfollowed her, leading to a decline in her engagement and revenue on the platform.
